Are You Having Browser "Download Unsuccesful", "Unable To Capture Screenshot", Or Internal Storage Issues? Then Read The Post Below!

This is one problem that has happened to me before and having these types of problems has to do with your Internal Storage being "write-protected" which means that your Internal Storage has been locked to protect the data that's in it so editing or deleting anything from your Internal Storage will not work and anything that you do on your device such as doing screenshots or downloading any type of file onto your device will cause a automatic failure since the main directory is set to the Internal Storage, not your External SD Card.

TO FIX IT...

Quote:

Make sure you plug your device to a computer and once you do this, back up everything from your Internal Storage onto your Desktop PC/Laptop. Once you do that, now your going to have to delete your whole Internal Storage files using a root explorer such as ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, Or anything that works for you and make sure you have it enabled to r/w [Read/Write Mode]. Now head into the directory that your Internal Storage files are located and then delete every single folder in it. Once your done doing that, now connect your device back to your Desktop PC/Laptop and then add back all of your Internal Storage files that you have saved on your PC back into your device, Reboot your device, and now everything should be working!

I am blown away by how quickly you made this all come together. I am sure it didn't just fall out of the sky - you had to do a lot of work to make this happen so quickly. My hat is off to you my friend. Can't wait to flash my first real rom on my GN3 - thanks for everything - when cash flow picks up a little I will make sure to send something your way to show my gratitude.
